The Cult of Hockey's "Adam Larsson & Mike Smith come up huge against Leafs" podcast

Cult of Hockey podcast

Let's do this! Goalie Mike Smith stole this one for the Oilers. Smith was sensational in the nets, including a stupendous save off of Auston Matthews in OT, and another off Ilya Mikheyev's one-timer in the second period. On a day when Edmonton's stars Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Tyson Barrie and Darnell Nurse all struggled mightily on defence, Smith was the difference maker. He got stronger as the game went on, looking more and more like the Leafs were simply not going to be able to beat him again. That's how Grant Fuhr used to look in big games. Now the Oil are getting it from a 39-year-old Smith. Bruce McCurdy and David Staples of the Cult of Hockey dig in. By the Faithful. And for the Faithful.
